We usually see the Wilson Banner team at farmers markets but we've stopped by the ranch a couple…read moretimes. At the markets we typically get some of their fruit and/or cider and catch up. My husband enjoyed learning about local agriculture history from Joe so we were sad to find out he very recently passed away. Our first ranch visit was on a super hot day so we just chatted with Joe and bought a jug of cider. It was much cooler the second time (a few years later) so we ended up picking some cherries. I do enjoy eating berries straight from the tree (or bush, depending on the berry) and hanging out on farms, but I think pre-picked berries might be more appropriate for me. That or paying for a bag but trying to get my fill of berries on-site and not worrying about filling the bag for home.

Took the kids to the pumpkin patch today and they were so disappointed. We have been here before a…read morefew years ago and it was amazing. This year it cost $5 a person which was $20 for my group. $20 to go through a small hay maze, climb on a bale of hay and go down a slide is not worth $20. Previous years they have had a corn maze, a petting zoo, horse rides and tons of other animals for the kids to enjoy not this time. The pumpkin patch was much smaller than before. We did find some pumpkins at 50cents a pound yikes! No venders this time, no food sections and sparse pickings in the gift shop. $65.00 with entrance and pumpkins so disappointing-

Two big things I missed moving from Berkeley was not having Lhasa Karnak for herbs and homeopathic…read moreingredients, and Berkeley Bowl. I never thought I'd be able to get dried herbs, medicinals, essential oils, homeopathic teas, fresh organic dairy and eggs, and healthy alternatives to processed foods. Don't get me wrong, I'm building a homestead and have a garden, forage and hunt to have the best quality ingredients, but there are some things that I need to complete some of my recipes. In addition to a well stocked store, they have various classes throughout the year, ranging from yoga, building a solar panel system, bud grafting trees, and a new series coming up on herbology. Not only are the classes very informing, but the people I have met in the classes tend to carry on friendships after the class and is a great way to meet likeminded people in the community. The irony of it all is that I moved all the way from Berkeley to the middle of the Idaho mountains and the owner hails from Richmond, LOL!

I love farmers markets. I don't know if it's the farmers, or the markets, but the combo is one of…read moremy favorite Saturday pastimes. Sign - me - up. Safe to say I've been to quite a few in my time on this Earth. This is the best one. Seriously. I've never been to a better one. The quality of the vendors was top-notch - from the produce, hand made products, and food vendors, to the live entertainment. The whole thing was so well put together. I would honestly make a special trip just to go here for the day. Specifically, two booths to mention. One, Brush Creek Creamery makes incredibly smooth and delicious cheese - not too salty, but packed with flavor. Second, the Swedish bakery booth! What beautiful pastries, also packed with flavor. Not pictured, the countless produce booths were amazing, offering samples of absolutely delicious produce of all kinds.

Really nice farmers' market - they say that Moscow is known for their farmers markets and they were…read moreright! It occurs right downtown and it's fun walking around and seeing stands for produce but also cool art items as well as excellent food places. We had the crepes and they were delicious. There was also a very cool heritage apple sampler that the University was putting on - overall, would recommend!

Love visiting this farm stand…read more So far I've enjoyed the cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, marinated labneh (soft cheese) from Brush Creek Creamery, and Love's Kombucha (White Rose). My husband drinks milk almost every day so he's had quite a few jars of milk from Viola Farm. I use venmo to pay but I think you can also leave a check or cash.

I am very thankful for this tiny farmers market…read more It's always easy to find parking and thankfully not crowded. The vendors are friendly and we always find at least one item to buy. A few of my favorite things: + Cider and fruit from Wilson Banner Ranch (local) + Flavored caviar from Two If By SeaFoods (from Bristol Bay, AK) + Wine from the visitor center. They normally close at 5pm but I recently learned they stay open until 6:30 on market days.
